For 20 years, SOS Children's Villages Illinois has provided the highest quality of care for Illinois’ most vulnerable children and families. To brighten the lives of its resident children and their foster families, Marketwired’s Chicago office devoted a day in early December to creating a festive, more inviting living environment for the holiday season and beyond.

Fourteen members of the Marketwired finance team braved the weather to support breast cancer research in the annual CIBC Race for the Cure, held October 6, 2013. The event was a huge success, raising $27 million to help spread the message of early detection and save lives.

With roots dating to the 1890s, St. Francis De Sales High School is a private Catholic institution that serves a diverse group of grade 9 to 12 students from the surrounding lower-income area of Southeast Chicago. The current campus, which was completed in 1958, is in need of a facelift – so on July 10 the Marketwired Chicago office volunteered to help spruce up this aging facility and travelled across town for a productive and rewarding day of community service.
